Objectives: This study aimed to determin the sex differences in associations between daily stair climbing with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and the role of genetic predisposition.
Study Design: This study is a prospective cohort study from the UK Biobank.
Methods: A total of 389,973 adults (mean age of 55.
Background: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of protein supplementation and resistance training (RT), compared with RT alone or combined with a placebo, in improving gait speed.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and SPORTDiscus databases, and 18 randomized controlled trials with 1,147 older participants were included for meta-analysis. Data were pooled as the effect sizes (Hedges' g) with 95% confidence interval (CI) of the gait speed (in meters per second).
Objective: This meta-analysis investigated the effect of long-term exercise training (ET) including aerobic, resistance, and multicomponent ET on the levels of inflammatory biomarkers in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving healthy subjects.
Methods: We searched seven databases for articles until May 1st, 2023. A random-effect meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, meta-regressions as well as trim and fill method were conducted using STATA 16.
Article Synopsis
- * Results indicated that while PE did not significantly affect levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, or catalase, it did significantly improve total antioxidant status and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) levels.
- * Sensitivity and subgroup analyses showed that factors like age, BMI, and exercise type influenced the effectiveness of PE, suggesting that further studies are needed to tailor exercise guidelines for different populations.
Objective: The relationship between low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and all-cause mortality risk in the general adults remains unclear. Our study was conducted to examine and quantify the associations between low SMI and all-cause mortality risks.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for primary data sources and references to relevant publications retrieved until 1 April 2023.
Prevalence of Achilles tendinopathy in physical exercise: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Sports Med Health Sci
September 2022
This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the prevalence of Achilles tendinopathy (AT) in physical exercise (PE). Specifically, we estimate the overall risk of AT in physical exercise and compare sport-specific estimates of AT risk. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and SPORTDiscus were searched before the 1 of October 2021.

This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to explore the effect of lifestyle intervention during pregnancy in women with GDM on the risk of neonatal hypoglycemia.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus databases were searched by 1st April 2022.
Objective: To investigate how physical exercise (PE) would affect brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of healthy subjects.
Methods: Seven databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus) were searched for RCTs assessing the effects of PE on serum and/or plasma BDNF until December 18, 2021. Meta-analysis was performed by random-effects method with standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
